My Iyashikei Game

Chapter 647: Game Start

647 Game Start

The black blade had killed so many. With each murder, its blade would become sharper. However, this blade drastically changed when it touched Han Fei. The scream from the hilt echoed through the blood night. The sound caused everyone’s soul to tremble. The black blade paused above Han Fei’s skin. The black mist was like a beast trapped by chains. One more millimeter, and it would cut through Han Fei’s fingers and the heart, but it refused to move anymore.

F and Han Fei didn’t expect this. They looked up and only saw each other’s white masks. F had never felt something like this before. His blade was resisting him!

He felt the urge to kill. This blade was his only weapon to deal with ghosts. Anyone who wanted to steal the blade from him had to die. The aura from the black blade cut through Han Fei’s skin. Fresh blood oozed out of Han Fei’s fingertip and slid down the blade towards the hilt. ‘There are many people calling my name in that blade. They want me to approach it!’ The blood was like a key. However, F pulled his arm back before the blood could touch the hilt. Han Fei had no idea if his blood touched the hilt. Actually, F didn’t intend to kill Han Fei at first, and if he did, the blood would have splattered on the blade already.

“Give me the heart!” F’s voice was still cold. This was the last restraint he had. His hands that held the black blade tightened.

“I came to save your member, and you want to kill me?” After Han Fei removed the heart from Bliss, the monster slowed down. Black capillaries surfaced on its skin like it could explode at any moment.

“You were haunted. It was us who helped you. We’ll each have half of the heart.” F didn’t want to compromise.

“If the heart is halved, can the person still survive?” Bliss’ heart pounded in Han Fei’s embrace. It was like red amber. It contained all the prayers and names. They were No. 11’s simplest desire and memory.

The clown had given Han Fei the hint. He didn’t intervene with Han Fei’s actions. He was confident in Han Fei. He was willing to leave his blissful heart with Han Fei.

Bliss was surrounded by the players. The sea of flowers was trampled to explode the running roots underneath. Bliss grew on the building. It joined with the building that represented childhood.

“I’ll say it one more time. Give me the heart.”

“His heart is exposed on the outside, and anyone can pluck it out. His inner voice is clear as day. If you can stand at his perspective, perhaps you’ll have a different answer.” The heart Han Fei protected kept beating. The heartbeat started to match his own heartbeat. Then, something unexpected happened.

The names and prayers on Bliss’ heart slowly disappear. The giant monster on the rooftop was dying too. The capillaries bulged, and the monster rampaged for one last time. Following a series of explosions, the heart and the monster’s body started to crack. F didn’t need to do anything, and the heart shattered in Han Fei’s embrace.

Han Fei’s heart beat faster. The prayers and names on Bliss’ heart were imprinted on Han Fei’s heart. That was the real present the clown gave Han Fei. The giant monster collapsed. Han Fei stood before F. One had no weapon, and the other had a black blade. It looked like F had the upper hand, but both knew that the black blade couldn’t harm Han Fei. If F attacked Han Fei, there was no telling who might win.

“You did it!” Thousand Nights saved Scout and ran over excitedly. He didn’t think F and Han Fei could kill that scary monster. “That thing has to be a ghost, right? Quickly look at your invitation and see if you’ve gained more points!”

“F!” Worm, with a twisted wrist, crawled out from the dissipating monster. He charged at F angrily. He was almost killed by F. Seeing Worm, F brandished the black blade silently. Instantly, the fury on F’s face disappeared.

“Reality proves that my choice is not wrong. Believe in me, and all of us will survive.” F’s voice was still calm.

“All of us can survive? Then, how did Short Hair die? Did you see his death in your future? Didn’t you say that if we follow your plan, all of us will live?” Worm’s trust in F had dropped to the bare minimum.

“Short Hair’s death…” F and Han Fei looked at the dead player. F frowned. Han Fei also slowly understood why the clown needed to kill one player.

“In the future I saw, Short Hair didn’t die. And he didn’t exist in the future I saw.” F pointed at Han Fei. “The future has changed. Since one person is added, one person has to be deleted.”

“What are you talking about? You’re blaming your teammate’s death on us?” Lee Guo Er was the only person who helped Han Fei. “Seeing into the future? You really believe he has this crazy ability?” Lee Guo Er didn’t believe it but to her surprise, the other players all trusted F.

“Are you people insane? Do you really think he can see into the future?” Lee Guo Er didn’t know what to say. “If he really has that power, he would have gained 100 points already. Why would he waste time with you?”

“I know it’s hard for you to comprehend, but he is really able to look into the future and predict most dangers and come up with the solution beforehand.” Thousand Nights and Inmate said, “F’s power has helped us a lot. Every one of us can be sacrificed but not F. He must leave here alive.” The players appeared brainwashed. As long as F left this place, all of them would receive salvation.

Lee Guo Er couldn’t understand these people. While both parties hadn’t turned on each other, she silently picked up Han Fei’s knife and returned it to him. Han Fei held Company and his heart pounded. The 22 names would change soon.

‘No. 11 was a child abandoned for 11 times. If someone could step through the 22 arms and save him from his adopted parents, then he would be able to find bliss. He found it now.’ Han Fei knew the clown’s history. He had helped the clown rectify his regret, and it was why the clown was willing to help Han Fei.

The giant monster was dead. Without the common enemy, the union cracked. F didn’t say anything, but the other players started to surround them.

“We tried to join you with sincerity. We offered you such a great clue, and this is how you repay us?” Lee Guo Er’s voice chilled. She reached her hand into her pocket.

“We’ve killed the dangerous monster, but my points haven’t increased,” F said. Thousand Nights checked his card. His points didn’t change either.

“And that is why you want to kill us?” Lee Guo Er didn’t panic. “If you kill us for this reason today, tomorrow, you’ll kill your teammate for the same reason.”

“F, let them go.” Worm resisted the fear and said. He felt a familiarity with Han Fei. Perhaps it was their mutual self-mutilation habits.

“There is indeed no reason to fight. Our goal is to gather all parties, collect 100 points and kill the theme park owner.” Thousand Nights didn’t want to have a conflict with Han Fei. He and Qiang Wei wanted to gather more players to rebel against the game master. The players retreated when they heard Thousand Nights.

Lee Guo Er didn’t dare to stay. She grabbed Han Fei and moved towards the door before the other party took back their words. Throughout this process, F said nothing, but his eyes were on Han Fei. His desire to kill grew. “He doesn’t exist in the future I see. For me, the most suitable solution is to kill him.” F’s fingers twirled, and a black card appeared in his palm. He angled the card, and a number surfaced—16. This meant that he had killed 16 people. “Has the game officially started?”

Time ticked by. The other buildings started to morph as they approached midnight.

“Let’s go. We won’t be able to leave this place after midnight.” F and the other players followed closely behind. Lee Guo Er and Han Fei charged ahead. Lee Guo Er moved very fast. She dragged Han Fei and zoomed out. “There’s still time to midnight. There’s no need to rush.”

“Just follow me.” Lee Guo Er didn’t turn around. They ran out of Building 11 and came to the alley between Building 11 and Building 1. “I want to see Building 1. No. 11’s bliss was hidden at Building 11. My bliss could be hidden at Building 1.” Han Fei walked towards Building 1, causing both the kitten and Lee Guo Er to scream in fear.

“We have more opportunities in the future. It’s about midnight already! All the ghosts will go on a rampage! It’s not the time for exploration!” Lee Guo Er dragged Han Fei into the alley. “You can only leave when you possess something from here. But if you take something from here, then you’ll be haunted by the ghost. This is an unsolvable problem.” Lee Guo Er frowned as she urged Han Fei to move forward. “In a minute, various voices will influence you. You might see other ghosts. This alley looks short but leaving will be very difficult, so…” Before Lee Guo Er finished, Han Fei had already led her out the other end of the alley.

After obtaining Bliss’ heart, Han Fei formed some kind of connection with this neighborhood. He was like an occupant here. No one stopped him from leaving. Once they stepped out, the night returned to normal. The streetlights glowed warmly.

“We’re out?” Lee Guo Er held Han Fei’s jacket, and she was stunned. “Are we in another illusion?”

“No. The clown ghost knows me.” Han Fei said confusedly.

“I think so too.” This time Lee Guo Er didn’t counter him. “The points from killing the monster appeared to come to me.” Lee Guo Er and Han Fei hurried to leave. During this process, Lee Guo Er took out her card. “After the monster died, I gained 11 points, so I have 16 points now! Do you know what that means?”

“Killing the monster won’t get you 11 points. Your points come from the fact that the clown ghost has disappeared voluntarily. He said he wanted to destroy his childhood memory, so he probably gave you the points from the death of his childhood body.” Han Fei might lose his memory, but he still had a very analytical mind.

“11 points. If those people found out, they would be so mad.” Lee Guo Er was very happy. She felt Han Fei look more handsome.

“But we can’t rely on them anymore. We need to gather more points on our own and solve all the games.” Han Fei had no idea what would happen if one got 100 points, but he knew that this time he couldn’t get 100 points but he would help Lee Guo Er. Looking at the woman beside her, Han Fei had a strange feeling like he had arranged for this encounter to happen.

“It’s hard to earn 100 points, but with your help, I have confidence.” Lee Guo Er put away the card. Her sweet smile dripped with danger.

“I’ll do my best to help you.” Han Fei promised.

“Why are you helping me? We’ve known each other for less than two days. You were imprisoned underground for one of them.” Lee Guo Er stretched and stared into Han Fei’s eyes. “Do you like that feeling? Is it possible that you don’t have paranoia but Stockholm Syndrome?”

“I don’t know.” Han Fei shook his head.

“You’re the most honest man I know.” Lee Guo Er remembered some unhappy past, so she changed the subject, “What is our next plan?”

“Go back to Perfect Life Hotel to find their other leader.” Han Fei said calmly.

Lee Guo Er was confused, “We’ve already fully angered them. Why are we still going to them?”

“To complain.” Han Fei’s eyes flashed with F’s shadow. “My game with him has officially started.”
